“Do ya love me? Do ya love me? Do ya love me? Do ya love me? Do ya love me? Noooooowwww that I can dance?”

Tony, Jacquelyn and I sang that hit by The Contours under the echo chamber during our recent visit to the Motown Historical Museum. We definitely had that “famous Motown sound.”

Our guide, Aaron, brilliantly educated and entertained the crowd with anecdotes about Motown founder Berry Gordy and the company’s proteges, including Diana Ross & the Supremes, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, and the Jackson 5. We all got goosebumps looking at photos of those iconic artists recording in Studio A in the exact spots where we stood to hear Aaron’s stories.

I highly recommend a visit to this museum if you find yourself in the Motor City!

Jacqueline visited this week from Canada, so we took a little roadtrip to Detroit. She and Tony pose here in front of the museum.

This unassuming little house was home to Hitsville USA with a garage that was transformed into Studio A. All Motown stars recorded here until 1972. And that’s where we sang “My Girl” by the Temptations and tried to imitate their snazzy choreography.
